Current Music: Nena & Kim Wilde - "Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime"

Saw P again last night and aside from catching the couch on fire (don't ask how that happened - it wasn't funny then but now it's really really hysterical!) had a really nice time. I'm at Boswell now, even though I can post from home... I still have to come here to send mail so I just do all my work here. :)

Not ten minutes after I got back this morning, S came in too... with H! I didn't know she was coming - he didn't tell me - but it's always nice to see her. Three people in a tiny apartment gets a little old sometimes, but it's also sometimes nice to have another girl in the house. :)

I just placed a bid on eBay for two Shania tickets - I was really mad that I missed out on her as well as Elton John. It was kinda stupid of me - I read the description of where the seats are (DN, eerste ring) and somehow in my misty little mind decided that ring = rij. So I quickly placed a bid - there were (and are) only a couple of hours left on it - still half-expecting that it was going to kick me out because my account is with ebay.com instead of ebay.nl. But it didn't and I placed a bid of 150.14 (only 6.14 euro higher than the other person), totally not expecting to get it but not willing to go any higher... but I got it. And THEN I went back and realized - first RING, Jess, first LEVEL dus, not first ROW. (I don't know if 'rij' is even the right translation of 'row' but in my head at that moment, it was.) So now I'm waiting to see if it works out. If it doesn't, I'm sure there'll be more tickets - the concert isn't until 4 march. (The day before the Staatsexamen.) And if I do get them, then the seats will probably be good even if they're the absolute last row in that first level (which they probably are, since the seller didn't give the row) - the arena seats 10,000 people max, according to the site, so there's really not a bad seat in the house.

Hungry hungry HUNGRY... I'll let y'all know later what happens with the eBay thing. Ciao!
